March Professor Gerhardt discovered a warty
growth attached to tho left vocal cord. which he
treated by touching with the electro o-caltery.
Its size having been reduced by this means. the
rrlnce was advised to 80 to Ems, where he re-
mained about six weeks. On his return he was
found to De no better as regards his hoarseness.
and the growth had somewhat increased in size.
Professor Tobold was then called in, and after
consultation with the Emperor's and Crown
Frinces physicians, Won Lauer and Wegner, it
was thought that the growth was of = malignant
nature. and at their request DIR. Bsramanns
opinion was sought He was inclined to con-
nsm the diagnosis.
1t was decided that an external operation was
necessary. but whether it was to be the excsion
OF the larnyx or thyrotomy was not settled def
initeiy. in consequence of the strong feeling at
court that this operation ought not to be done
unless absolutely unavoidable, on account of its
attendant danger to life and great impairment
OF voice. even if successful. Dr. Beremann de-
cIlned to take the responsibility the operator,
unless the impossibility of the removal of the
growth by inter-larynxeal methods was con-
hrmed by DR.. Merrill Mackenzie.
Immediately on arriving IN Berlin. on Friday,
May ~. a consultation was held, at which Dr.
Mackeuzie met all the medical men above men
toned. On making a laryngoscopc examination
ne found sessile growth about the size of
large split pea, hut In shape more elongated, at
taehed to the posterior portion of the lefr vocal
cord on it's inner and upper surfaces. lie urged
tnat the more serious operation should not be
performed before portion of the growth had
been removed for microscopic examination This
had not been done, because it was considered i'm
possible. owing to its small size and sesse char
acter.
The following morning another consultation
wRs held, at which DIR. Mackenzie succeeded in
removing with forceps a piece of the growth
about the size OF tare. Prof. Won Nirchow,
having examined microscopicaly the portion
taken away, pronounced it to be a benign growth.
He said that the epithelical cells were increased
in size and number He further stated that
the portion removed included q complete section
of the growth and the surface CT the vocal cord
beneath, as clearly demonstrated by the pres
esce of some of the longitudinal elastic fbres of
TIN, latter structure, he considered that there
wss no reason to suppose that any remaining
portion OF the growth was of a cancerous nature
Prot Won Virchow also said that he thought the
thickeninc was the result of chronic inflamma-
tion, which accorded with the history OF the
ease. DIR. Mackenzie leaves London for Berlin
or sunday night, and we shall hope to hear that
he has been successful in removing the entire
growth, which is the source of much trouble
TO his Imperial Hiehness and of 30 much anxiety
to others.

THE TELEPHONE CASES.
Judge Thurman and Mr.. Dickerson Complete
the Argument-Decision Reserved.

BosToN, Juno l5.-In the United States Cir
cult Court, to-day, the arguments in the famous
Bell telephone cases were continued. Judge
Thurman reviewed the manner in which an in
vention may be patented. BY ths rule patents
are all locked up from the public The whole
thing is done in secret. How is the examiner to
know this thing has not been known beforel He
cannot know it unless it comes to him by acci-
dent But if he hears that some person has
some such thing already made he has power
to call testimony. 1t cannot, therefore, be said
that these examiners act judicially. Judge
Thurman then explained the different modes of
procedure in the Patent and Land Offices, and
said that in the latter all proceedings were as
public the day. II the government had the
right to appeal to the courts to set aside
a land patent, much more had they the right to
ask the court to set aside ordinary patent.
The next point which Judge Thurman said ne
should consider was whether the Bell Telephone
Company was bona fde purchaser. What is
there in patent which makes it negotiable and
gives to it all the qualities of bill of exchanged

Court in the private cases now before it would

Thurmans further argument was composed
largely of a repetition of the arguments of coun-
sellors Lowry and Goode, who had preceded him.
Mr.. f. L. Dckerson, of New York, then

The Emperor of Brazil Reported Seriously
Ill and Likely to Die.
f.oNDoN, June 15.-Private dispatches from
Rio Janeiro represent Dom Pedro II. Emp eror of
Brazil, suffering from a dangerous attack OF
diabetes, and lying in a critical condition. The
Emperor has, for many years, exhibited symp-
toms of this disease, bu: has not hitherto
bean brought to bed from its effects,
AMI it is believed by those in London who are
acquainted with his ruling characteristics, his
indomitable will and extraordinary physical
vigor. that his prostration, as it is stated by
the dispatches, justifes the fear that
his condition is accurately stated.
While the death of Dom Pedro could
have political significance affecting any
other power than Brazil, and that only in
spect Of change in the rulership of that coun-
try, his demise would be mourned universally
by all those who respect and admire noble and
manly man, and a consderate sovereign.
